Review of Truphone

[davidtheprof]

from the press release, this is for business customers, who are now their main strategic focus. Us lowly retail consumers are stuck with same service, for now at least. Even the rates for their new so-called core countries, Germany, Poland, etc, are not so great. It's only a good deal for US, UK, and Australia.

Can't UK (and all users in "Euro"" countries) now roam in each others countries very cheaply? Maybe I have misinterpreted what has happened "over there".
U.S. users can now roam 95% of the time since T-Mobile has "free" roaming (unlimited text and data) and 20¢/min voice.

Truphone obviously has to focus on heavy (business) users outside the U.S.- and focus on UK and other travelers going to U.S. and other countries. I wouldn't think it pays to deal with a consumer type that travels only once or twice a year and racks up minimal bills.

One thing that Truphone has that is legally required of 'some' businesses in Europe is the ability to record and preserve calls.
I have seen no one else taut this.
